To Be Yours Again By Taylor Chapter 190

Chapter 190 But You Have Me

In Jenny’s eyes, Alec was never a kind and merciful person. He went silent because he understood what she was implying. “I’ll turn in the evidence proving she had hired the assassin, but the Blooms will definitely help her out. I assume that she won’t go to jail.”

“You have the capability to drag someone down if you put your mind to it.” She chuckled, thinking that Alec was making excuses.

“Jenny, I probably haven’t told you stories from my childhood. Are you interested?” He suddenly changed the topic and looked at her as he took a trip down memory lane.

She was confused by the random mention and thought he deliberately wanted to change the topic. She felt infuriated but didn’t refuse to listen because she was interested in his past.

A long time ago, Alec’s dad and Max’s mom eloped, leaving Alec and his mom behind. He was a young child then, but he was acutely aware of the changes in his family. Despite that, he was sensible enough not to ask questions. Instead, he gave his best in his studies in an attempt to cheer up his mom. His efforts were in vain because his mom decided to take her life one night, leaving him all alone in the world.

He feared the dark because it reminded him of waking up to his mom’s cold body. Whenever night. descended, it brought uneasiness and anticipation of a tragedy that would plunge him into terror.

After his mom’s passing, he was taken in by Old Mr. Faust and started living at the Old Mansion, where he met Yvonne. Back then, Yvonne was a bright and adorable child who always went to play with Alec after he moved in. She was a ray of hope that pulled him away from the darkness. Hence, he found it hard to take any action against Yvonne even if she had committed crimes that disgusted him. After all, she was one of his few childhood friends.

Jenny felt conflicted after hearing his story. She had never imagined his childhood to be riddled with pain, and she wondered how he had handled the death of his mother as a young kid. Suddenly, she felt sorry. for him.

*Jenny, can I spare her just once? Consider it my way of repaying her kindness to me,” he asked for her approval while staring deep into her eyes.

She went blank when she met his pleading gaze. “That’s your business. You don’t have to ask for my permission.”

“No. To me, you’re more important than her.” He shook his head. “If you insist on taking action against her, I can help.”

Yvonne, unlike Jenny, was not a priority for Alec.

Jenny felt cornered. She obviously couldn’t do anything to Yvonne after hearing the sob story from Alec. She stared at him and asked, “What if she does it again? Do you plan to protect her if that happens?”

“Of course not! This is the last time,” he assured her with a confident look.

She sighed and finally nodded. “Alright. I will give her one last chance.”

Since Alec had offered her a lot of help, she didn’t mind compromising this time. Moreover, knowing Yvonne, Jenny believed she wouldn’t give up so easily. When Yvonne struck again, Alec would have no reason to protect her anymore. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

*Jenny, thank you.” Alec seemed happy.

She squirmed under his passionate gaze and quickly looked the other way. “You don’t have to thank me. She’s married to Sam Bloom anyway-I can’t do anything to her even if I wanted to.”

“But you have me. If you ever need my help, I can offer it,” he replied. Then, he added, “In the end, your

didn’t do anything to her because you care about me. I’m glad.”
